American DJ's Tri-Star effect.
USA - American DJ has introduced four revolutionary new laser DMX effects: the Tri Image, Tri Beam, Tri Star and Tri Fecta. Each model is capable of generating three different colours, as each includes two 4.9mW laser diodes, one red and one green, which when combined create a yellow beam.

These affordable units can be operated from any universal DMX controller, and can also be plugged in and left to run on their own using their many built-in programs or via a sound-activation mode. For an amplified overall effect, DJs can link multiple units together in master-slave configurations. Each of the new lasers has its own distinct feature set.

The Tri Image produces red, green and yellow effects all at the same time. All effects are created using a 4.9mW red laser diode, a 4.9mW green laser diode and a reflector mirror that rotates 360°. The Tri Image is programmed with 50 pre-set geometric patterns and 800 effects, plus a 3D effect that adds significant depth to each image. Portable and compact, the unit measures 6.5 inches long by 4.5" wide by 6.5" high and weighs only 4.5lbs.

The Tri Beam uses its three-colour laser and eight spinning mirrors to produce eight flat, solid beams of red, green or yellow light. It includes two hanging brackets that allow for a choice of vertical or horizontal light dispersion.

Capable of covering a very wide area, the Tri Star is suitable for larger venues. It produces red, green and yellow beams which bounce off of six mirrors that rotate 360°, and is programmed with 50 pre-set geometric patterns and 800 effects.

Finally, the Tri Fecta is a basic model designed for DJs operating on a budget. Like the other three units in the series, the Tri Fecta produces red, green and yellow lasers that can be easily manipulated to create eye-popping effects. The Tri Fecta also features circuit-breaker protection, so there's never any need to change fuses. Portable and compact, the unit measures 11.5" long by 8.5" wide by 8" high and weighs just 7.5lbs.
